Overview

The Cat^® 992 Large Wheel Loader has set the standard in its size class for more than 50 years, delivering industry-leading productivity, unparalleled reliability and long life. Today’s 992 raises the bar. Compared to the 992K, the new 992 is up to 48% more efficient and 32% more productive, thanks to higher payload for improved pass match, increases in rimpull and breakout force, and an optimized linkage design. Extended component replacement intervals plus increased filter and turbo life help reduce maintenance costs. These improvements — and many more — combine to provide significant savings over the life of the machine for the lowest owning and operating costs in the industry. With both standard and high-lift configurations, the 992 offers the ideal pass match for fleets of Cat 775, 777 and 785 trucks.

SAFETY

Designed for visibility, with a taller windshield that provides a 25% increase in glass surface area for a better view to the bucket, standard rear-view camera, optional Detect 270-degree cameras, standard LED lighting and mining mirrors.
Improved access and egress, with integrated powered access system, adjustable hanging steps, 45-degree-angle wide stairs, emergency egress ladder, and full handrails on each side.

OPERATOR COMFORT

50% increase in leg room and increased width by the operator’s knees compared to previous model.
Reduced vibration, low sound levels and automatic temperature controls.
Electro-hydraulic speed-sensing steering with force feedback for shift-long comfort.
Pressurized cab featuring Next Gen Seat with 9-inch travel, active cooling and heating, adjustable lumbar support, seat cushion tilt adjustment, and air-adjustable bolsters on the seat and backrest.

CONFIDENT & EMPOWERED OPERATORS

Low-effort integrated controls that make cycles smoother and faster while reducing fatigue.
Large, easy-to-read, color LED displays that provide access to the Electronic Operation & Maintenance Manual.
Operator coaching, which helps empower operators to exceed targets by measuring and providing feedback to reinforce proper operating techniques.

PRODUCTIVITY

Increased rated payload, which allows for a a 4-pass match to a 90.7-tonne (100-ton) truck in all applications.
Better digging thanks to 20% more breakout force compared to previous models, with no increase in cycle time; 9.5% boost in rimpull; and increased traction.
Superior loading with Cat Performance Series Buckets, which deliver easier, faster loading; increased fill factors and material retention; larger bucket volume; and better bucket and machine stability due to the payload being lower and closer to the machine.

EFFICIENCY-BOOSTING FEATURES

Tire Slip Prevention, which reduces rimpull when there is less downforce on the tire and increases rimpull when there is more downforce on the tire — providing maximum rimpull when you can use it.
Tire Set, which automatically applies a lift command at the optimal time to increase traction on the tire, allowing for an increase in usable rimpull.

SERVICEABILITY

Reduced time spent on regular maintenance procedures thanks to features such as ground-level or platform access to filters; grouped service points; swing-out doors on both sides of the engine compartment; improved access for engine and pump drive service as well as to cooling package; and automatic lubrication system that greases the linkage, hitch, steering and axle trunnion bearings.

VERSATILITY

Ideal for all temperatures, with high ambient package for operation in temperatures as high as 55 degrees C / 131 degrees F; and cold-weather features such as cooling fan bypass; 120V or 240V coolant heating elements and fuel heater; 240V engine oil; and heated mirrors.
Approved for higher payloads in low to moderate digging resistance applications; increased payload intended for rehandled material in the ROM pad area or stockpile material, such as coal.

DURABILITY

New C32B engine improved for increased durability.
Use of structural castings at the high-stress locations where the lift arm and front axle mount; and improvements to the axle cutout, upper hitch design and rear trunnion mounting.
Loads efficiently transmitted by the field-proven solid steel lift arms and reinforced pin joint bores.

TECHNOLOGY

Cat MineStar™ Terrain for loading, which provides real-time feedback on payloads and design plan progress to increases productivity and accuracy, reduce rework, enhance ore control and improve shift-to-shift operator performance.
MineStar Object Detection, which combines radar and camera systems to warn operators about light vehicles or stationary hazards within the immediate vicinity of their machines.

SUSTAINABILITY

Designed to be more efficient and use less fuel, which reduces engine emissions and carbon footprint; Tier 4 Final engine reduces NOx and particulate matter.
Engine Idle Shutdown, which saves fuel by making it possible to avoid unnecessary idling.
Better control of fluids through use of Cat anti-drain filter housings and component ecology drains.
